Good Morning Praise  

Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Life, family, my church, healing, a relationship with God, green grass, blue sky, friends, sun, chirping birds, job, spouse, comfy shoes, a soft pillow, coffee, chocolate, smiles, memories of the good times, music, art, books, evergreen trees, irises, fresh air, the ability to move, audio books, pen, paper, oh and did I say coffee? The list can go on and on. What’s on your morning praise list today?

An attitude of gratitude is a decision I make each morning—even on the days when I have difficulty thinking of a single thing I’m thankful for. In these moments I reach for my journal and read my ‘Praise Report’. God has been good and some days I just need a reminder.

I encourage you to think of five things you are grateful for and concentrate on those today. Praise God for them.

Prayer for today: Jesus, sometimes it’s difficult to find things to be thankful for. The cloud of worry overcomes and I feel alone. When that’s the case, please remind me of all the ways You’ve blessed my life. Amen.
